Some men live their lives terrified. Terrified of the night and all that is dark. I will live my life eternally in fear of the light of day.

Family is the only real wealth.

I have already prepared my counter proposal. It reads thusly: you may strategically place your wonderful lips upon my posterior and kiss it repeatedly!

Loathesome I am, and evil. You can mock me for that. But leave my pain alone!

Without grace there is no hope, but with it there is no shortage.

Love means never having to say you're sorry. However, it is with sincere regret that I must now kill all of you.

It is said that blood is thicker than water. It is what joins us, binds us, curses us.

You've gotta do things that make you happy.

I can't dance on ice, because I'm like Bambi on ice.

It doesn't matter to me whether I write in a man's voice or a woman's, or first or third person for that matter. Those choices come down to the story and I just go with it.
